Chef ShaVonne: A True G.R.I.T.S (Girl Raised In The South)

Born and raised in the beautiful coastal plains of Charleston, SC, Chef ShaVonne is, by all definitions, a true Charleston Gullah-Geechee Girl  with deep Southern roots. Her love for food runs as deep as her heritage—so much so that she often jokes, “I believe I was cooking before I was talking… well, then again…”

 

Raised in a large, women-led family, cooking & food was more than just sustenance, it was a way of life. More than just a means of survival, it was a cherished tradition, a way to bond, and a passion passed down through generations. This foundation instilled in her an unyielding love of food, excitement in the joy her gifts brings to others, and a deep respect for the women who came before her. Her entrenched passion for food is a tribute to the generations of women that has helped fashioned not only her skills, but also her unwavering commitment to excellence.

 

A Culinary Signature: Seafood With A Side of Soul

Known for her beautifully presented, well-seasoned, and deeply flavorful dishes, Chef ShaVonne explores coastal Southern-inspired comfort food with her own gourmet Americana twist, creating mouthwatering meals. Whether using seasonal fresh vegetables and herbs from her own gardens or incorporating exotic ingredients discovered in her travels, every dish reflects her signature style—Seafood With A Side of Soul.

 

The Birth of A Movement

Edible Endeavors was created in 2008 while, what started out as a simple favor for a friend—bringing lunch the next day—quickly turned into something bigger when nearly 20 people placed orders on her initial run!!! From that moment on, she knew she was onto something special. In 2012, with no formal training and no nest egg to speak of, she took a leap of faith, leaving her “good job” to pursue catering full-time.

 

Through Edible Endeavors, Chef ShaVonne currently creates beautiful, delicious food while cultivating meaningful partnerships with clients, venues, businesses, entrepreneurs, and the community. Her priority is to continuously succeed in producing and serving high-quality products with commitment to excellence in all aspects of her reach,  with an unwavering code of business ethics and conduct. Her and her team’s  “Best Of” approach ensures every dish and experience reflects the highest standards of quality, service, and ethics—ingredients that have become the proven "recipe" for her lasting success.
